Second trimester writing courses at the IIML If you’re interested in developing your skills in poetry, creative non-fiction or children’s writing, or having a shot at ‘writing the landscape’, now’s the time to be thinking about getting into the supportive writing environment of an IIML workshop over the winter months. Workshops begin in mid-July, and last twelve weeks. Each is taught by a highly regarded writer in the field: James Brown (poetry), Harry Ricketts (creative non-fiction), Eirlys Hunter (children’s writing) and Dinah Hawken (writing the landscape) are the workshop leaders. The application deadline for all second- trimester workshops is 5 June: you can find out more here. 2. Our first PhD We’re delighted to congratulate Marian Evans on becoming the first person to be awarded a PhD in Creative Writing from Victoria University, with a thesis titled ‘Development: Opening space for New Zealand women’s participation in scriptwriting for feature films?’ Having found that New Zealand women writers ‘ and directors’ participation in feature filmmaking is very low, Marian is using her thesis screenplay – Development – to test an alternative feature film production pathway. She hopes that this project, when completed, will provide a useful model for other women storytellers. Marian will be one of the guests in the annual Writers on Mondays series, which starts on 12 July (full details to be announced next month). You can read Marian’s wrap-up of her experiences with supervisor Ken Duncum and the IIML on her blog, Wellywood Woman. 3. Legend of a suicide author to appear in Wellington US writer David Vann is best known for Legend of a Suicide, a remarkable book of stories set around his father's suicide. This genre-defying work - a fictionalised memoir - has been named in numerous Best Books of the Year lists in the UK, US and Australia. It is a bestseller in France, and has been translated into many languages. American writer Lorrie Moore praised the book for its 'luminous narrative art'. David has also written two other memoirs connected with his disastrous adventures as a sailor. Most recently, his account of the Northern University of Illinois shooter, Steven Kazmierczak, who killed five students, won the 2009 AWP Non-Fiction Prize. His novel Caribou Island will be published next year. In May David Vann will teach a masterclass for the 2010 MA (Page) students during which he will discuss the prose style of writers such as Cormac McCarthy, Annie Proulx, and Marilynne Robinson in the context of linguistics, Old English, Middle English, and Latin. While here he will also make a public appearance in a special event presented by the IIML at City Gallery, Wednesday 26 May at 6 pm. The event is free, and all are welcome: early arrival is recommended to secure a place. 2 4. The Godfather comes to town Another significant American writer arrives to teach a masterclass at the IIML in the first week of June. Lee Gutkind is widely known as the ‘godfather of creative non- fiction’. ‘Creative nonfiction stories,’ in Gutkind’s definition, ‘are dramatic, true stories that use scene, dialogue and close, detailed descriptions – techniques usually employed by poets and fiction writers – to examine and explore a variety of subjects: politics, economics, sports, race relations, family relations, the arts and sciences and more.’ He travels widely throughout the world giving workshops and readings, explaining the craft and the mission of the genre. Lee Gutkind is the founding editor of Creative Nonfiction magazine and prize- winning author or editor of more than a dozen books, the most recent of which is Almost Human: Making Robots Think. His forthcoming book is a memoir, Truckin’ with Sam, co-written with his son. He appears in conversation with the IIML’s Creative Nonfiction workshop leader Harry Ricketts on Thursday 3 June at City Gallery, 6 pm. This event is also free and open to the public. 5. From the whiteboard ‘A fact is not a truth until you love it.’ — John Keats 6. Glyn Maxwell’s masterclass MA (Page) students at the IIML were lucky enough to take part in a masterclass with UK poet Glyn Maxwell at the end of their first week in the building. Maxwell unpacked poems by Edward Thomas and W H Auden with the students in the morning, and spent the afternoon on exercises based on the first lines of poems, and on revision of biographical prose anecdotes through the lens of cinema and the medium of poetry. He was a generous and convivial guest, and we also enjoyed his appearances at New Zealand Post Writers and Readers Week. Maxwell’s appearance at the International Arts Festival was supported by both the IIML and New Zealand Post. 7. This and That This: We liked this sign spotted recently on a pew in a disused church in Lumsden, Northern Southland: 3 Warning Please note These seats are not fixed to the ground so they could tip if not careful The Church notifies you that it cannot afford to compensate for any injury, mental, physical, or spiritual that occurs from use of them. That: We were also intrigued to learn of the interesting new, alcohol-related medical condition, psoriasis of the liver, referred to by a panelist on National Radio’s Afternoons with Jim Mora last Tuesday. 8. Racing colours Among its many fine contributions, the latest edition of Best New Zealand Poems includes a poem about Dylan Thomas in his incarnation as a racehorse. After Best New Zealand Poems 09 was launched on 31 March, we were pleased to receive an update from author Gregory O’Brien. He informs us: ‘The poem has been embroidered

    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES

    A Survey of Recent New Zealand Writing TREVOR REEVES O achieve any depth or spread in an article attempt• ing to cover the whole gamut of New Zealand writing * must be deemed to be a New Zealand madman's dream, but I wonder if it would be so difficult for people overseas, particularly in other parts of the Commonwealth. It would appear to them, perhaps, that two or three rather good poets have emerged from these islands. So good, in fact, that their appearance in any anthology of Common• wealth poetry would make for a matter of rather pleasurable comment and would certainly not lower the general stand• ard of the book. I'll come back to these two or three poets presently, but let us first consider the question of New Zealand's prose writers. Ah yes, we have, or had, Kath• erine Mansfield, who died exactly fifty years ago. Her work is legendary — her Collected Stories (Constable) goes from reprint to reprint, and indeed, pirate printings are being shovelled off to the priting mills now that her fifty year copyright protection has run out. But Katherine Mansfield never was a "New Zealand writer" as such. She left early in the piece. But how did later writers fare, internationally speaking? It was Janet Frame who first wrote the long awaited "New Zealand Novel." Owls Do Cry was published in 1957. A rather cruel but incisive novel, about herself (everyone has one good novel in them), it centred on her own childhood experiences in Oamaru, a small town eighty miles north of Dunedin -— a town in which rough farmers drove sheep-shit-smelling American V-8 jalopies inexpertly down the main drag — where the local "bikies" as they are now called, grouped in vociferous RECENT NEW ZEALAND WRITING 17 bunches outside the corner milk bar.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. ALLEGORY IN THE FICTION OF JANET FRAME A thesis in partial fulfIlment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at Massey University. Judith Dell Panny 1991. i ABSTRACT This investigation considers some aspects of Janet Frame's fiction that have hitherto remained obscure. The study includes the eleven novels and the extended story "Snowman, Snowman". Answers to questions raised by the texts have been found within the works themselves by examining the significance of reiterated and contrasting motifs, and by exploring the most literal as well as the figurative meanings of the language. The study will disclose the deliberate patterning of Frame's work. It will be found that nine of the innovative and cryptic fictions are allegories. They belong within a genre that has emerged with fresh vigour in the second half of this century. All twelve works include allegorical features. Allegory provides access to much of Frame's irony, to hidden pathos and humour, and to some of the most significant questions raised by her work. By exposing the inhumanity of our age, Frame prompts questioning and reassessment of the goals and values of a materialist culture. Like all writers of allegory, she focuses upon the magic of language as the bearer of truth as well as the vehicle of deception.

It thus contributes to the growing body of critical analysis of the theatre Aotearoa/New Zealand, and to an overall picture of Pākehā New Zealander cultural identity. The researcher‘s experience of being Pākehā has formed the lens through which these performance works are viewed.

  • Études at Play : Narrative Identity in Adolescents with Chronic Illness

    Études at Play : Narrative Identity in Adolescents with Chronic Illness

    Études at play: Narrative Identity in Adolescents with Chronic Illness in Contemporary Young Adult Literature Volume 1 Exegesis Pamela Jane Harvey Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication (246AA) November 2018 Faculty of Arts & Design, University of Canberra - i - Abstract Storytelling gives voice to people’s experiences, assisting them in making meaning of their lives and their place in it. It is also integral to a person’s narrative identity and the sense of self created through these stories. Philosopher Paul Ricoeur asserts that narrative identity is not present at a story’s beginning but born in the telling, creating a future for the narrator. For some, the effects of ongoing illness complicate narrative identity and storytelling becomes an avenue to express what it is to live with the effects of disease and how it shapes self. The resultant stories are known as illness narratives. Illness narratives form a burgeoning category of autobiography but published texts are limited to mostly adult storytellers. This thesis examines contemporary young adult fictional illness narratives (‘illness fictions’) as a cohort of books that act as transformative texts in the interpretation and understanding of the illness experience. Sociologist Arthur Frank’s illness narrative typology, based on Paul Ricoeur’s idea of narrative identity and consisting of three categories, provides a lens through which to interrogate these texts and their narrative type. While Frank’s typology is a useful initial tool, its application to stories of ill adolescents is restrictive. This thesis extends the illness narrative typology to five categories in order to create a more nuanced framework for the investigation and creation of illness.
